Application filed February' 11, 1907. Serial No. 356,749

zenof the United States,'residing at'Milwau l do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to l which it appertai iis to ineke and use the saine.

My invention relates to new and useful ini# I proveinents in gas generators and more pari ticularly to that Class adapted to be used ior lightingT purposes and my object is to provide 'means l'oi` generating gas i'ioni gaso eiie or similar i'uel and utilizingr the gas so Created ior producing a light, with the use oi a inan- A further object is lo provide nieaiis lor regulating the mixture ol' aiifwith the gases so forined whereby a proper Coiiibustion will inafter, referred to und Amore particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure l isa side elevation, partly in section ol' iny iniproved forni oligas generator, and, Fig. 2 is a detailsectional view on an enlarged scale ol thefgenerating and aircontrolling parts of the device. I

Referring to the drawings in which siniilar reference nunierals designate corresponding pdrtsthroughout the several views, 1 indicates. a, tubular s uV porting rod which is adaptedt'obe securei to the ceiling Of a rooni or in 'an .other desired position,- thelower end of -W 'ch is internally screw-threaded as shown at'2 and adapted to engage athreaded extension on` the body portion or.union Q'An oil conveying pipe ,4 is ada ted to extend from the source of supply t rough the supporting rod 1 and into engagement with a bore 5 extending through the union 3 and in Order to regulatel the flow of oil through the bore 5, provide a tirn cock 5u' which interlsects the bore 5 at any suitable point.

Extending l'roin one side 'of .the union 3, is

an extension said extension having a bore therein communicating with the bore-5 and said bore iS threadedto'receive one end of a generator tube.7, the outei` end o f said tube Shown in l y I i The ineiiiber 8 is provided with a down l communicates at its lower end with a tubular l extension 10, Said extension 10 being internally threadedat its free end to receiveone end ol an auxiliary generatingtube 11. .The auxiliary tube 11 is preerably disposed he, neatli and parallel with the generating tribe 7, eaeli oi said generating ti'ibesvbeing vided with screen members 12 which are iiiaiid held therein in any suitable manner, seid Screens', being ei-nployed to diffuse the oil passing therethrough and therebyrendering and the screens will also catch andretain all foreign particles Contained inthe oil.

The tubular extension l() is. rovidedat outer end of a cleaning needle 15'SO that when the lever Mis swung u on its pivot i, point the needle Will be accor ingly moved inwardly and' outwardly. -The free, end of L, the auxiliary tube 11 is provided with a ni ple 16 through which the gases ass rointge l--generating tubes and the need e 15 is so located that. the point thereon will enter the bore in the nipple and remove all sediment 1 therefrom when the cleaning needlev is moved back and forth by the lever 14.

tric with a tubular mixing chamber 17 and .is located at' a distancev from the `openliflf thereof, ably secured in a bore 18 in the lower end of 1 the 'union 3 so that when desired theiiiixing clianber may beinoved towards or honi the ni e.

pn order to-o'btain-a proper combustion ci wai-diy' and laterally extendin section 8** -which is-provided with a central ore 9 which -1 said mixing chamber beingadjusti il being threaded into a meinber 8 as eiearly serted in the bores of the generating tubes the sanne incre susceptible to vaporisation one endwitli an outwardly exten 'ng bracket 13 to which is pivotally secured a controlling; -lever 14, said lever having aknob at its lower lend and is directed througha ring 15 at the 30A y l l l The'nipple Y16 is so located as-to be conceii. I

. gases of this class'iit. is necessary to mix with' the members 18'i and 1 l each other that thel amount of air` entering f 22a through a tube -mixed with the of the tubular mixing chamber 17 and it will be readily seen that by properly adjusting 9 towards or from the mixing chamber will be correspondingly decreased or increased, it oeing understood that the suction caused bythe gas passing from the nipple 16 into the mixing chamber 17 will properly draw the air into the members 18*L and 19. The commingled air and gas is conveyed from the mixer 17 to a burner 22, said tube forming a reservoir for the gases.

The burner 22a is preferably disposed centrally below the generating tubes 7 and 11 so that the heat from'the burner will superheat the tubes and generate the oil passing therethrough into gas, the heat being positively conveyed into engagement with the tubes` by placing a chimney 23 on to the burner 22a,

Said chimney being of sufficient height to extend lin close relation to the lower tube l1.

It will now be seen that I have provided a yvery cheap and economical means for generatiiig gas from oils and it will also be seen that I have provided positive means for regulating the amount of air admitted to and y gas after the samehas been ener-ated, so that a proper combustion may be obtained and a brilliant white light prowill be devoid Of'smok'e not providedwith proper duced and one that prevalent in burners I mixing facilities,

What I claim is: The herein described gas generator comprising a support, a union carried by said support, means to convey oil to said union, an upper generating tube communicating with sai union, a lower generating tube, a member connecting said generating tubes, a mixing chamber concentric with the lower generatin tube, said mixin chamber being adustabIy mounted in sai union whereby the space between said mixing chamber and lower generating tube may be varied, means to control the flow of. air into the mixing chamber comprising a semi-globular member forin'edY integral'wlth the mixing chamber, said mixing chamber extending beyond the rim of semi-globular member, and a semilobular member adjustably mounted on the ree end of the lower generating tube.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to ,this specication in the presence of tifo subscribing witnesses.
